Her Interview
Ten minutes with Melissa
01What do you attribute your success to?
Dedication and intentional actions. Being a speaker and business owner is not for the faint of heart...but you don't have to rely on hard work either. You simply have to engage in a strategy, surround yourself with the right people and resources, and stick to it! Success needs to be defined on an individual basis - what I consider success may not be what you do - and that is OK. We each have our own success meter to run by. Don't compare yourself to others.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
Don't work past 3 pm. And on most days I stick to that! My life revolves around being a business owner and speaker, sure, but above that it is about family and LIFE. Experiencing it only after 5 or 6 pm is not enough!
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Be strategic. Not hoping and wishing, standing on the sidelines waiting - but intentionally creating a plan and executing it - no matter what.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
There are so many opportunities in the world of community building and business growth! The only challenge someone might have is themselves standing in their own way,
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Belief in self, Candid communication (with kindness), and Abundance mindset - there is enough to go around!
